“It is important to monitor the condition of the dog, because this concerns not only the animal, but also the owner.
There are diseases that are fatal to humans and pets, such as rabies.
In addition, a pet can infect its owner with lichen, toxoplasmosis, leptospirosis and even tuberculosis,” he told RIA Novosti.
According to the dog handler, the most dangerous disease of all is rabies.
Another disease that a person can catch from a pet is echinococcosis, which is caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus.
They cause damage to the liver, lungs, muscles and even bones in humans.
Golubev emphasized that the best protection against all these diseases is prevention and timely vaccination.
Doctor of Veterinary Sciences, Professor of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at ROSBIOTECH University Andrei Rudenko previously emphasized in a conversation with RT that ticks begin to show their activity when daytime temperatures rise above zero.
Now, in his opinion, is the best time to start preventing bites in dogs and cats.
